In a world, where games launch with known technical issues, standard practice is constant updates to quell negative word of mouth.
So Ubisoft’s developing a shared strategy with Assassin’s Creed Unity and Far Cry 4 with blogs featuring “live updates.”
Both the Assassin’s Creed Unity and Far Cry 4 sites provide details on current and upcoming patches. On the one hand, it’s great that publishers are providing these patch details on launch day to customers.
So the big video game firms are training customers to not trust a game’s quality at launch. We here at ToT think this will lead to lower pre-sales and less buying of DLC season passes. Here’s an idea….Test the games and shipping with known major bugs. Everyone will be happier!
